<body class='hmmessage'>Could someone out there (Tony?) familiar with the gcc backend<BR>have it not ignore call_conv and if call_conv is 1, append<BR>an at symbol and the number of bytes of parameters to the function name?<BR> (Even for zero, e.g. <A href="mailto:Sleep@0">Sleep@0</A>, <A href="mailto:GetFileAttributes@4">GetFileAttributes@4</A>).<BR>This would be I guess at least for "imported" functions.<BR>
<BR>Not clear about calling function pointers, probably needs modification.<BR>call_conv 0 is "__cdecl" is push right to left, caller cleans up<BR>call_conv 1 is "__stdcall" is push right to left, callee cleans up<BR> There are various synonyms.<BR> With no command line switches, __cdecl is the compiler default.<BR> __stdcall is deemed more efficient, and is very widely used.<BR>
<BR>Not clear about functions implemented in Modula-3.<BR>Probably won't occur? Maybe for callbacks? WindowProcs, thread entry point?<BR>
<BR>This could/should be for NT386GNU only.<BR>The hypothetical other NT targets only have one calling convention each.<BR>
<BR>I COULD do something sleazy here and generate little adapter functions, over in m3-win/import-libs esp.<BR>
<BR>I'm still checking out pm3 to see what it does here.<BR>(as in cvs checkout, not "looking at")<BR>
<BR>This'll clear up:<BR>

<BR>I did think I was past these. I thought I built m3core and libm3 including linking (having even modified cm3.cfg)<BR>COULD be I'm using the wrong .libs, but:<BR>

I think at least THREE calling conventions should be supported -- __cdecl, __stdcall, __fastcall --<BR>but oh well. We can live without __fastcall.<BR>Watcom has another calling convention, "watcall", and they let you describe calling conventions with #pragmas, neat.<BR>
